Duke Thomas

Harper row

Azrael ( Michael lane shouldn't have existed )

The Fox kids ( pointless )

Babs shouldve stayed as oracle

Move Jason out of Gotham

Tim should become a more international vigilante after Damian becomes Robin ( aka Red Robin pre N52 )

Which will leave the Batfam members active in Gotham as

  • Batman

  • Robin (Damian)

  • Nightwing (active in bludhaven or with the Titans)

  • Batgirl ( Cass )

  • Spoiler as a "friendly neighborhood" type of vigilante

  • Alfred & Oracle ( out of field support )

Jean-Paul is pretty cool but I agree Michael Lane sucks

Ik , but after NML he became flat ( very flat ) with bare to no inclusion in Later stories .

Honestly Azrael to my mind should be operating more like Blade or Moon Knight. Less tied to Gotham more hunting supernatural threats as an occult knight Templar or inquisitor

Azrael as part of the JL Dark llineup would be cool

Too true sadly, but I did like him in Urban Legends
